Probably one of the most annoying things about listening to music with headphones is the cords. They tend to always be where you don’t want them to be. They get tangled up. They get wrapped around something and are pulled from your ears. I’m sure there are various “solutions” to the cord problem, but none are so effective as Bluetooth headphones. It’s the most effective because it gets rid of the problem, literally. Bluetooth removes cords from the equation completely.

Black and Silver vFree

The Velodyne vFree and vBold headphones embody all that is good about Bluetooth. They are perfect for many different situations. They’re great for late at night when everyone else is asleep, because you can move about without being tethered to your computer, iPod, or other device. When you’re cleaning up the house, there aren’t any cords to get in the way of whatever you’re doing. The vFree have hardly any noise leakage, so you don’t have to worry about disturbing others if you’re in a quiet location such as a library.

Satin Silver vBold

In case you forget to charge up your vFree or vBold headphones, there’s an audio bypass cable that allows you to connect directly to your device. This can be used while the headphones are charging up, so you’re always able to use the headphones. The sound remains crisp and clear, and the bass is as deep and resonating as ever.

Finally, the Velodyne vFree and vBold headphones have a sleek, modern design that can go with any outfit. They can also be accessorized with artist-designed skins. The vBold comes in two colors: matte black and satin silver. The vFree comes in three colors: black, silver, and white. Each has its merits. The black and silver lean towards a more traditional headphone look, whereas the white is bold and stands out. Whichever version you prefer, the sound and design retain their quality.

How do you experience music? Where do you like to listen to music? Each piece makes up a little bit of your music medium.

If you open up my laptop or look at my phone, you’ll see things like Spotify, Pandora and iHeart Radio. Music has gone through so many changes, from live to radio, record players, cassettes, CDs, mp3 players and now even our phones play our music for us. There’s a musical medium for every person and every setting nowadays. Maybe you’re an old soul and you like to listen to that vintage record player you somehow ended up with…or you could be a bust college student on the go who keeps all of their favorite songs on their phone.

We used to have to stand in line for concert tickets so that we could experience that amazing sound. But we’re a busy world that can’t always fit a live show into our schedule. Just because you aren’t sitting two rows from the stage doesn’t mean that you’re going to have to sacrifice that live sound and convenience. There’s a world full of options! Install an awesome sound system for yourself, or grab your vFree headset and phone as you’re walking out the door, just like I do. There’s nothing better than having a productive day while experiencing the thrill and energy of your favorite music.

In this day and age, music has taken on a new, more expansive identity and my friends I hope you can keep up.

Concerts are a fun way to discover new music and to explore the city. Find shows for new bands coming to your area by staying connected with local radio stations, venues, newspapers, and ticket sale sites which all have webpages dedicated to upcoming shows. Social media sites are a good way to stay up to date with bands you find. Start by checking out Finish Ticket on Facebook!

AudiOdysseus

My name is AudiOdysseus. Admittedly, I would never describe myself as a hero of any kind and I tend to get seasick in open water. But I love adventure. There is nothing I appreciate more than exploring new territories and gathering information about the world around me. Those are also the types of posts you can expect from me. I’ll be writing mostly about new gadgets, emerging trends, and my work-related travels to other lands.

I'm passionate about music, a lover of pop-culture, a runner with a mad sweet tooth and an addiction to coffee. Read my musings about life, movie soundtracks and live concerts. If you see me on the freeway I am most likely singing very loudly in my car. Honk and say hi!
